| description | Intraoperative floppy iris syndrome is characterized by flaccid iris stroma, iris prolapse, and progressive pupil constriction. Dexmedetomidine results in abrupt constriction of the well-dilated pupils. Three cataract patients were studied. Pupils were found well dilated with mydriatics in the preoperative area. The procedures were performed under local anesthesia and an infusion of 0.2 µg/kg with dexmedetomidine was given for sedation. Within 5–10 min, the pupil became constricted, and the iris suddenly became floppy. |
